MASTER SLIDE SHAPE NAME

[johnemmatty]

What is the connection between a master slide shape and corresponding
shape in normal slide.(eg:- The name of the two shapes will be same or
something like that.) or in other words how can we identify whether the
shape has parent in master slide.


Thanks in advance,
John.

It won't have the same name because if won't be highlightable/editable on the
corresponding slide. You'll know something is on the master when you can't
click on it in normal/presentation view. You'll have to go to the master to
be able to highligh it...

John, If you are using VBA you would check the shapes .type property
for .type = 14

Case msoPlaceholder 'Type 14
it = "a text placeholder (title or regular
text--not a standard textbox) object."

I've posted the code to check for shape types many times and chase
this Google link to find the examples.
